South End

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Just southwest of Uptown, South End is a dense commercial-residential run where 57 restaurants average a stellar 4.7 and the Yelp crowd hands out a rare 4.8. Yunta Nikkei and La Lima Sangucheria bring Peruvian flair, while Savory Spice Shop stocks the home cooks, amid a lineup of lounges, bakeries and wine bars. Seven coffee shops and seven fitness spots keep the daytime moving, and three parks give the district a place to exhale. It's a neighborhood that dresses up for dinner but stays walkable and buzzy from morning on.
